7. PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Dr. Cui Yang's long term career goal is to develop culturally appropriate interventions among high-risk populations. Dr. Yang's history as an individual who has been trained in behavioral and epidemiological sciences in the United States, yet who understands Chinese culture and languages, places her in a strong position to contribute to a growing field of global collaborative research in HIV prevention. Since 2007, heterosexual transmission has become the major transmission mode of all HIV infections in China. In addition, alcohol use in conjunction with sexual activity increases the probability of risky sexual behaviors. There is an urgent need for the development of culturally-tailored intervention designed to reduce HIV infections among heterosexual men who are daily drinkers and have high risk sex partners, a understudied and yet a critical “bridge” group who could dramatically facilitate the spread of HIV. Little is known about social network factors of heterosexual men who have high risk sex partners, and there is an insufficient research on high risk heterosexual men and their alcohol consumption. This K99/R00 application is therefore uniquely timed to contribute to a growing field of HIV prevention science. Results from this pilot intervention will inform the social and cultural considerations of peer-driven interventions among male daily drinkers who have high risk sex partners and the translation of such an intervention to other countries, including US, where alcohol and risky sexual behaviors often co-occur. Overseen by a team of mentors, Dr. Yang's training objectives include 1) To gain expertise in HIV risk-reduction interventions, 2) To enhance knowledge of alcohol use among high risk populations; and 3) To further develop skills in qualitative methods and application of advanced statistical methods. In the mentored phase research (K99), Dr. Yang will conduct in-depth interviews among 40 male daily drinkers who have high risk sex partners to explore the factors associated with alcohol use in the context of high risk sex behaviors, and to examine the feasibility of peer-driven intervention in Sichuan province China. The training objectives and mentored phase research are instrumental to the successful advancement to the R00 phase research which proposes to develop intervention materials and will compare outcomes between two study conditions: (1) standard individual voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) (n=80), and (2) experimental condition (n=80). In the experimental condition, male daily drinkers who have high risk sex partners will be trained in the reduction of alcohol use and sexual risks, peer outreach, and communication skills so that they can conduct HIV prevention outreach among their risk network members. Participants in the comparison group will receive the standard care of HIV testing and counseling. All participants will be assessed at baseline and 6-month follow up. Finding of this pilot peer-driven intervention will provide significant preliminary data for an R01 grant of a prevention intervention to address issues of sexual health and alcohol- related risks among male daily drinkers who have high risk sex partners.

7.项目摘要/摘要 崔洋博士的长期职业目标是在高危人群中开发适合文化的干预措施 人口。杨医生在行为和流行病学方面接受过培训的个人历史 在美国的理科，但谁懂中国的文化和语言，使她在一个强大的 有能力为日益扩大的艾滋病毒预防全球合作研究领域作出贡献。自2007年以来， 异性传播已成为中国所有艾滋病病毒感染的主要传播方式。此外, 在性行为的同时饮酒会增加发生危险性行为的可能性。有一个 迫切需要制定有文化针对性的干预措施，以减少艾滋病毒感染。 每天喝酒并有高危性伴侣的异性恋男性，研究不足，但又是一个批评者 “过桥”群体可以极大地促进艾滋病毒的传播。人们对社交网络因素知之甚少 有高危性伴的异性恋男性，但关于高危的研究不足 异性恋男性和他们的酒精消费。因此，该K99/R00应用程序被唯一地计时为 为日益增长的艾滋病毒预防科学领域做出贡献。这项试点干预的结果将通知社会 对有高危性行为的男性日常饮酒者进行同伴驱动干预的文化考虑 合作伙伴和这种干预的翻译到其他国家，包括美国，在那里酒精和高风险 性行为经常同时发生。在导师团队的监督下，杨博士的培训目标包括1) 获得减少艾滋病毒风险干预方面的专业知识，2)加强高危人群饮酒知识 3)进一步发展定性方法和高级统计应用方面的技能 方法：研究方法。在导师阶段研究(K99)中，杨博士将对40名男性进行深入访谈 有高危性伴侣的日常饮酒者探索与饮酒相关的因素 对四川省中国的高危性行为进行干预，并探讨同伴驱动干预的可行性。 培训目标和指导阶段的研究对于成功地提升到 R00阶段研究，建议开发干预材料，并将比较 两个研究条件：(1)标准的个人自愿咨询和测试(VCT)(n=80)，和(2) 实验条件(n=80)。在实验条件下，有高危性行为的男性日常饮酒者 将对伴侣进行减少饮酒和性风险、同伴接触和沟通方面的培训 技能，以便他们能够在其风险网络成员中开展艾滋病毒预防外联活动。参赛者： 对照组将接受艾滋病病毒检测和咨询的标准护理。所有参与者都将是 在基线和6个月随访时进行评估。这一试点同行驱动干预的发现将提供重要的 R01批准的预防干预措施的初步数据，以解决性健康和酒精问题- 有高危性伴侣的男性日常饮酒者的相关风险。
